Hi managers,

I need some help. I have added 4 new 9.1 Gb drives to our system, they
have been initialized in a RAID 5 set.

I now need to partition them into 3 equal groups so I can add them from
ADvFS.

The command is disklabel -e /dev/re3c

but (since I've never actual had to do this ) I'm a little unsure of
what to do next,

Here is the current label:

8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
  a: 131072 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
31)
  b: 262144 131072 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 32 -
95)
  c: 53317632 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
13016)
  d: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
-1)
  e: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
-1)
  f: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
-1)
  g: 52924416 393216 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 96 -
13016)
  h: 0 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 -
-1)

can I just change d,e, and f to be 1/3 of the total and then write the
new label?
